This framed original acrylic painting is for sale painted by Minnesota wildlife artist and five time Federal duck stamp winning wildlife artist James Hautman.

A giant bull elk is on alert. He has turned and is facing the challenge to protect his harem for rival bulls. The low sunlight and artist accurate brush strokes show the great muscle tone of a mature bull elk. This great western Montana mountain landscape is where the artist hunts elk. "This idea came from the many trips I've taken to western Montana. The scene is right where we usually pitch our wall tent" says Jim Hautman.
